given, in territory of either power, to vessels under the flag of the
other entering its harbours in a damaged condition, and that, in case of
ghipwreck, property lost should be restored—so far as possible—to the
owners, who should be bound to pay proper salvage; that European and
Indian employes of the British Government, if desirous of leaving Persia,
should be allowed to do so at any time and to remove their property
w ith them; and that the duty to be recovered by the Persian Govern
ment from purchasers of the East India Company^ iron, steel, lead,
broad -cloth and perpets should not exceed one per cent, ad valorem,
while the customs tariffs of both countries were to remain otherwise
unaltered, and other questions relating to commerce were to be settled
at another opportunity.
These were the tangible results of the employment of seven European
officers during a period of nearly a year and-a-half, and of an enormous
expenditure, forming an inconvenient precedent for the future, in presents
to the ministers and leading men of Persia. In view of "the fact that
the treaty provisions relating to Afghanistan were from the first
unnecessary and that those referring to France did not avail to prevent
French intrigues in Persia, while those bearing on commerce were
mostly of a commonplace and non-controversial character, the outcome
must be accounted meagre; but a favourable opinion of the wealth, if
not of the power, of Britain, and of the intelligence and character of
British officers, had been diffused throughout Persia, in its length and
breadth, by the proceedings of the jVIission.
The two Treaties arranged by Captain Malcolm had been signed by
him and by Haji Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Persia ; and the Shah,
as a token of bis acceptance, had caused a Earman requiring his officials
to observe its terms to be attached to each. It remained to arrange for
a corresponding ratification by the Governor-General of India; and for
tbis purpose, and for that of disposing of the points connected with
trade which remained unsettled, Fat-h ^Ali hah undertook to send a
return mission to India. In selecting a representative his choice fel?
upon one of the principal merchants of Bushehr, Haji Khalil by name,
w bo was ambitious of figuring as an envoy, who had taken
g ome part in the negotiations at Tehran, and against whose nomination
Captain Malcolm had nothing to sav. The terms of Haji KhaliFs
e ®ployment seem to have been, simply, that his deputation to India
This Haji Khalil was partner in a large shipping concern with Messrs. S. Manesty
